John Clease cruises around Santa Barbara and nearby wine country and channelling knowledge of wine to the viewer. IMO as this is an informational movie it is no spoiler to tell you he concludes, after exposing us to what it is that makes a wine both delicious and "good" with a well developed palate, with fermented grapes much as mist things..... you like what you like. It is subjective. This film is "rad" to use my socal surf vernacular. It is no flying circus but a great pleasure to see Mr Cleese as a whine professor.......Would make a nice skit white wine whining. Bacus rock us. Follow this with the amazing documentary about one wine forgery mastercon titled Sour Grapes. Wowzers! Salud!

User Review - 10/10 by Adam GBest wine movie with John Cleese in it, ever!
User Review - 8/10 by Gabriel ZTactful, thorough, approachable explanations of all the basics in enjoying wine. Trusting your palate, the 3 major grapes from each color, simple explanation of the crush, ferment, and barreling, plus cool interviews and footage of a tasting party and a wine dinner. Cleese gets lots of cool winemakers from north of Santa Barbara to participate, plus vintners, chefs, sommeliers, and retailers. He even goes over shopping, storing, and serving basics, all in about an hour. If you're already pretty hip to wine, it won't tell you much you don't already know, but watching Cleese is fun. And if you tend to answer wine questions for friends with any frequency, his tact and vocabulary set great examples for how to handle them.
User Review - 8/10 by Wendy NGood film for wine novices or those wanting to learn a little more. Cleese makes visits to a few wineries in the Santa Barbara area and talks to some of the winemakers about their wine and tries various types of wine. Interesting conversations and insights. Basically, the entire thing comes down to, drink what you like, not what other people think is good, but be open to new things. I enjoyed the film, expecially the added conversations in the extra features. Cleese was funny, and while Brendan Fraser is included in the case, his presence is pretty minor, the high point being when he recites his tasting notes on a certain wine as being "put it back in the horse".
User Review - 8/10 by Angela OInformative and funny, John Cleese does a very good job of explaining the basics of wine without making it snobbish. What is most appealing is the way he is able to keep the viewer feeling like a normal person and not being spoken down to. Additionally, his characteristic humor keeps what could otherwise be a rather dull subject interesting to the last moment. Be sure to watch the Extras (all of them): they provide information just as relevant, if not more relevant than the actual program itself.
User Review - 8/10 by Private UFabulous and it actually made me interested in the stuff. Suffers a bit from poor editing, but very entertaining and enlightening overall.
User Review - 8/10 by Jason LNow I know about wine! Thanks John Cleese.
User Review - 6/10 by Carri DA decent primer on the wine basics, with the added bonus of Cleese's charm and humor, albeit understated and brief.
User Review - 4/10 by Vickie LNot too exciting nor enlightening. I learned a couple new things.
